The IDF says it has destroyed or disabled around 330 of Iran’s estimated 470 ballistic missile launchers.
More than half of the launchers were destroyed in strikes, while the others are considered to be inoperational after the Israeli Air Force struck entrances to subterranean facilities where they are stored, according to the military.
The military says the IAF continues to hunt down the remaining roughly 150 launchers to reduce the missile fire on Israel, which has slowed to around 10 missiles a day in recent days, down from around 90 on the first day of the war.
The Israeli military cannot comment on US President Donald Trump’s announcement of negotiations with Iran, saying it is a “political echelon matter.”
The IDF says it is operating in accordance with the directives of Israel’s political leadership and will continue to strike in Iran according to its plans until instructed otherwise.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
